When I put the Langley versus Swift question to a record label source who primarily works with country acts, they acknowledge the artists\u2019 similarities: the same early sound, same girl-next-door appeal. But Langley\u2019s arrival on the scene just as country music is booming globally could mean she\u2019s set for even bigger success in the genre.<\/p>\n
\u201cElla is smart, cute, talented, and releasing music at a way better time for country than when Taylor released Fearless <\/em>[in 2008],\u201d the source says. \u201cWhat\u2019s interesting too is that she seems to be big amongst guys [Langley has a male fandom called the \u2018Ella Fellas\u2019] as well as girls, meaning her shows have way more potential to sell out than Taylor\u2019s early ones. And she won\u2019t suffer from that \u2018girly\u2019 label. It looks like she\u2019ll be Nashville\u2019s biggest breakthrough in decades, and could even be bigger than Morgan [Wallen].\u201d<\/p>\n Anecdotally, it was noticeable at the C2C: Country to Country festival, held in London earlier this year, just how many attendees were wishing aloud that Langley was topping the bill.<\/p>\n Swift, smart and shrewd as she is, is also obviously aware of the comparisons. Photographed with Langley at the iHeartRadio Awards in Los Angeles in March, Swift was all smiles, the vision of the supportive mentor. It\u2019s a wise move; she has long been criticised for what her detractors view as ruthless competition with her female \u201crivals\u201d. In the 2010s, there was a well-publicised feud with Katy Perry<\/a>, sparked by a business dispute over backing dancers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.telegraph.co.uk \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When I put the Langley versus Swift question to a record label source who primarily works with country acts, they acknowledge the artists\u2019 similarities: the same early sound, same girl-next-door appeal.
